Dollar General in the works

Dave Herbert and ground man Gordy Chalberg expect to finish demolition of the old R-3 Baits building in about three hours.

"The building will be gone," said Herbert, owner of Dave's Excavating based out of Foreston.

Additional plans for the following day included removal of a number of trees, demolition and removal of the concrete floor of the building, and digging of footings for the new floor. A separate company is expected Thursday, May 22, to pour footings.

"We're just doing the dirt work," said Herbert who stated Dave's Excavating commonly does work for the builder of the Dollar General store being built at the site.
